\015 My ACER laptop has been stuck on the same screen for more than 5 hours now. This is what the screen says : \015\012"Configuring Updates stage 3 of 3: 0% complete\015\012Do not turn off your computer"\015\012\015\012All of a sudden the 0% will change to 83% and a few seconds later, a screen will come up saying "shuting down.." The computer will restart, and will go right back to the "Configuring updates" screen.. This has been going on for most of the afternoon.. Also when its on the Configuring updates screen, I am unable to use the mouse pad. \015\012\015\012(I'm using another computer at the moment)\015\012\015\012If anyone knows whats going on with my computer, or knows how to fix it, PLEASE let me know!\015\012Thanks! :)\015\012\015\012(It's a newer laptop too. Just got it in August 08. It's an ACER with the media bar on the left hand side. )\015

Answers :

Reboot your computer and when the message appears at the desktop that there are updates available, click on the link to see what updates are available. Make sure any third-party antivirus and firewalls are disabled. Uncheck any that are "Optional" unless you really think your system needs them. Try installing those that are critical/important first, and leave the rest for afterwards.

The screen resolution will not change. One some computers this happens on, it is stuck at 800x600. Others, 640x480. Some are even stuck at 1024x768. The slider is movable and shows all available resolutions, but as soon as you hit apply, the resolution stays the same and then it asks you if you want to keep the 'new' setting. You click OK and the slider moves back right away. We have tried driver updates, chipset update, using the graphic driver's control panel, updating the monitor drivers (tho
